[1]
He turned to me, and heard my cry.
[2] He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
[3] He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.
[4] Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,
and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
[5] Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
and your thoughts which are toward us.
They can’t be declared back to you.
If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.
[6] Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.
You have opened my ears.
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
[7] Then I said, “Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
[8] I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart.”
[9] I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.
[10] I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.
[11] Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
[12] For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me.
[13] Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Yahweh.
[14] Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.
[15] Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
[16] Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”
[17] But I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
I waited patiently for Yahweh.He turned to me, and heard my cry.

To the chief Musician,H5329(PielPtc) A PsalmH4210 of David.H1732
I waitedH6960(PielPerf) patientlyH6960(PielInf) for the Lord;H3068 and he inclinedH5186(QalImpf) unto me, and heardH8085(QalImpf) my cry.H7775 [2] He brought me upH5927(HiphImpf) also out of an horribleH7588 pit,H953 out of the miryH3121 clay,H2916 and setH6965(HiphImpf) my feetH7272 upon a rock,H5553 [and] establishedH3559(PolePerf) my goings.H838 [3] And he hath putH5414(QalImpf) a newH2319 songH7892 in my mouth,H6310 [even] praiseH8416 unto our God:H430 manyH7227 shall seeH7200(QalImpf) [it], and fear,H3372(QalImpf) and shall trustH982(QalImpf) in the Lord.H3068 [4] BlessedH835 [is] that manH1397 that makethH7760(QalPerf) the LordH3068 his trust,H4009 and respectethH6437(QalPerf) not the proud,H7295 nor such as turn asideH7750(QalActPtc) to lies.H3577 [5] Many,H7227 O LordH3068 my God,H430 [are] thy wonderfulH6381(NiphPtc) works [which] thou hast done,H6213(QalPerf) and thy thoughtsH4284 [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in orderH6186(QalInf) unto thee: [if] I would declareH5046(HiphImpf) and speakH1696(PielImpf) [of them], they are moreH6105(QalPerf) than can be numbered.H5608(PielInf) [6] SacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thou didst not desire;H2654(QalPerf) mine earsH241 hast thou opened:H3738(QalPerf) burnt offeringH5930 and sin offeringH2401 hast thou not required.H7592(QalPerf) [7] Then saidH559(QalPerf) I, Lo, I come:H935(QalPerf) in the volumeH4039 of the bookH5612 [it is] writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) of me, [8] I delightH2654(QalPerf) to doH6213(QalInf) thy will,H7522 O my God:H430 yea, thy lawH8451 [is] withinH8432 my heart.H4578 [9] I have preachedH1319(PielPerf) righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregation:H6951 lo, I have not refrainedH3607(QalImpf) my lips,H8193 O Lord,H3068 thou knowest.H3045(QalPerf) [10] I have not hidH3680(PielPerf) thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heart;H3820 I have declaredH559(QalPerf) thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvation:H8668 I have not concealedH3582(PielPerf) thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregation.H6951 [11] WithholdH3607(QalImpf) not thou thy tender merciesH7356 from me, O Lord:H3068 let thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 continuallyH8548 preserveH5341(QalImpf) me. [12] For innumerableH4557 evilsH7451 have compassedH661(QalPerf) me about: mine iniquitiesH5771 have taken holdH5381(HiphPerf) upon me, so that I am not ableH3201(QalPerf) to look up;H7200(QalInf) they are moreH6105(QalPerf) than the hairsH8185 of mine head:H7218 therefore my heartH3820 failethH5800(QalPerf) me. [13] Be pleased,H7521(QalImpv) O Lord,H3068 to deliverH5337(HiphInf) me: O Lord,H3068 make hasteH2363(QalImpv) to helpH5833 me. [14] Let them be ashamedH954(QalImpf) and confoundedH2659(QalImpf) togetherH3162 that seekH1245(PielPtc) after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595(QalInf) it; let them be drivenH5472(NiphImpf) backwardH268 and put to shameH3637(NiphImpf) that wishH2655 me evil.H7451 [15] Let them be desolateH8074(QalImpf) for a rewardH6118 of their shameH1322 that sayH559(QalActPtc) unto me, Aha,H1889 aha.H1889 [16] Let all those that seekH1245(PielPtc) thee rejoiceH7797(QalImpf) and be gladH8055(QalImpf) in thee: let such as loveH157(QalActPtc) thy salvationH8668 sayH559(QalImpf) continually,H8548 The LordH3068 be magnified.H1431(QalImpf) [17] But I [am] poorH6041 and needy;H34 [yet] the LordH136 thinkethH2803(QalImpf) upon me: thou [art] my helpH5833 and my deliverer;H6403(PielPtc) make no tarrying,H309(PielImpf) O my God.H430Byzantine Greek New Testament
